    That’s an oddly long song. Thank you for the weird, dark translation that you warned about but I probably didn’t need to know.

      The length of it is because of the way the chorus builds more as the song goes on. It’s a bit like “the 12 days of Christmas” or “99 bottles of beer on the wall” and is meant to take a long time to sing.

      Yeah, it’s the joke though. Cat wants to eat bird. It’s a song many people, even English speakers know. We were taught the song in school without knowing the meaning.
